Since marijuana became legal in many states, people of all ages are using it for pain relief and treatment of a variety of illnesses and ailments. But is it safe?
In this comprehensive book, renowned psychiatrist and licensed prescriber of medical marijuana Dr. Rebecca Siegel delivers the most complete guide yet about the benefits and risks of using marijuana today. Based on the latest scientific research, this accessible book busts all the myths and helps you navigate the sometimes confusing and often-changing world of marijuana.
You'll discover a wealth of invaluable information, including:
- Why medical marijuana is vastly different than CBD and recreational marijuana - especially when it comes to children and teenagers
- Evidence-based information on how cannabis is being used to treat an array of ailments and conditions
- The difference between various marijuana delivery systems, including edibles
- Why those who may be genetically vulnerable to psychiatric disorder, including depression and anxiety, should exercise caution when using marijuana
- How to talk to teens or young adults about recreational marijuana use in a way that brings you closer
- How marijuana affects mood, productivity, and overall brain health
- Long-term vs. short-term risks for teens, adults, and older adults

🧠 I purchased this book due to Dr. Daniel Amen’s participation in it. His clinic (the Amen Clinics) changed my life for the better by diagnosing my ADHD through their SPECT scans and providing resources, supplements, and prescriptions for therapies that have dramatically improved both my cognitive functioning and quality of life.
Back to Dr. Siegel’s book, I support the use of medical marijuana and with the HHS’s recent recommendation for marijuana to change to schedule 3, exciting opportunities for long overdue studies await.
Rebecca did a great job. As a patient who consumes THC legally (edibles is my preferred mode), this book provided insights and resources that I value and it inspired additional research questions. 📚
🧐 For those who gave Siegel a poor rating, let’s see your books, please share your expert opinions supported by peer-reviewed studies, and provide it in the easy to understand and smooth flowing voice that she did. I’ll read.
